Weigh in, Biggest Loser musings, and redecorating

So, I weighed myself yesterday in the morning, and found that I am down another 1.2 lbs since last week, bringing me to a total of 4lbs in these last two weeks. I know everyone says you're supposed to lose it slow and steady, but as happy as I am about losing weight consistently over the last 2 weeks, and not binging like I have in the past, I can't help but feel like I can do better, lose more faster. Meh. That's just me though, the over achiever.

I've been cooking more, and I'm proud to say that when we were offered pizza for lunch at work, I brought a side of broccoli with I Can't Believe it's not Butter on it, and had only one slice of pizza. I'm not saying it was easy, but I managed not to go back for seconds, and for that, I am pleased with myself. Pizza is a big time trigger food for me.

I've also started watching the new season of The Biggest Loser. I figure it's a good motivation, and I'm trying to lose weight while watching them (I know all of what they are doing happened like 2 months ago real time), so it kind of feels like we're all doing it together. Silly, yes, but still effective. I'm a big time snacker at night, and it's hard to dig in to the chips or cookies or whatever while watching these people bust their butts to lose weight. I know everyone says they could do it given the attention of the trainers and the ability to focus only on that, but those people are impressive. To be in the shape they started at, and still be able to complete those brutal workouts...wow! I'm definitely feeling that my treadmill routine needs a kick in the pants. I'm thinking I'll up the incline when I go today.

Oh, yeah, I'm off work today, and I'm going to use the time to finish a few projects...painting my bedroom, which is the only room I have not gotten to the way I want it in the 3 years we've been in the house. It's still the putty-bleh color that most of the house was when we bought it. I also need to complete my work re-finishing a dresser for my room that my mother gave me, and painting my nightstand pink. Nothing like a little physical labor to burn some calories, right? Plus, when I'm done (and when I make my pilgrimage to Ikea at the end of the month) it'll be super pretty!
